How i got into the time share business part 21

Before going to Acapulco, my next stop, Mr. E treated the top echelon to a fancy dinner at the Chateau Vegas now long gone but it was the cats meow back then. The Dr. says i should have a reading from the Gypsy like fortune teller and most of what she said came true up to 30 years later. Even though you would be very surprised how these people ply their craft and are able to know things, it is a combination of acquired skills and talents and a keen understanding of human nature. At the dinner i was still giving the cold shoulder to the Dr. as i had to determine just how dangerous he might be. I'm stuck with him going to Mexico and Spain and in the background i can hear the robot from lost in space "DANGER -WILL ROBINSON-DANGER!! I'm finding it hard to believe he might not have something to do with the heist. Although he speaks English he thinks we have a bond because i speak Spanish fluently and what we have shared. The only bond i can think of begins with bail. I'm studying this guy all the time because i cant believe he is normal, and in subsequent chapters you will see the dark side of humans Thru this monster. I was waiting to see his reaction to a peculiar thing Mr. E would always do without fail at a dinner.
Mr. E had a funny habit of asking for the bill secretly long before anyone finished and paying it unbeknown to the guests, i had already seen this about 10 times and thought it was great.
Just before dessert is usually when the boring bullshit begins or someone is going to roll out their
hidden agenda disguised as a pleasant dinner conversation and that's when he would do it.
The Dr. decided it was his turn and just as he started to say something-bammo- Mr.E shoved his
his chair back, stood up and thanked everyone for being there and left in less than 5 seconds, with Ginny Simms in tow, she knew the drill even though she was a social butterfly. I would say that every time this happened at least half the crowd had already been vaccinated already and would enjoy the surprise of the uninitiated as they looked around as the veterans left also,
with their flambe bananas drooping off their spoons. Actually it was the best part of dinner meetings as we would look forward to this part more than anything. Some of the frequented
Establishments were in on it and i saw they also would anticipate the moment, the waiters hanging around to see the reactions. A few times his cronies would laugh as we drove away-i knew when he was going to do it when she started in on her art collection, did you see her face? hardee-har-har. Anyway the doctor sat there open mouthed with evil in his eyes taking it very personally
when his face transformed and he started laughing ive seen mentally ill people do this before.
I told him later this was his m.o. and to let it go.

At the Vegas airport i hesitate to get into the limo sent for us (see L.A. airport stunt) but its the real deal, belongs to the Vegas club and i glance at the Dr. as he looks away. Hallelujah!! i am informed the Dr. will stay at the resort and i will lodge with others in another hotel. The Japanese
lawyer from corporate in Hawaii will be my roommate. The hotel is 80% brokers and the new exchange company personnel ( I.I.) In the suite i ask the lawyer if he wants to dine and gamble with me, my treat (he was nice to me in Hawaii) he declines and appreciates me not coming back late and or drunk- no problem I'm tired anyway and will be back at 9-10. When i come back he scopes me out and determines he's safe until i ask him for a personal favor-he turns white, his
eyes growing behind his glasses, hes already seen enough of nutcase salesmen. To the point i tell him this town is no good and i want him to help me push the refrigerator against the door, much to his delight he agrees and helps me. But thought it eccentric as i tied thread around the necks
of 4 connecting coke bottles in a semi-circle around the fridge. Its an old trick, so you can sleep well. In the morning we disassemble the door fortress kind of feeling foolish, and when we open the door we discover the hallway full of cops-sheriffs-dicks, etc. Downstairs theres even more!
The place has been robbed! almost every room! 20 or so rooms have been opened while the occupants slept, from what i heard each room was worth a Rolex, $2000 avg. cash, gold jewelry
etc. this was a lot in 79. At the convention we could hardly get started as the topic was no gambling or whatever due to NSF. A few big shots went to the bank and came back and doled out money to be paid back later. None of the victims had their credit cards taken but back then there were no atm's and banks would only give small advances with a huge fee. Most of these
guys made big bucks so it was an inconvenience more than anything. The lawyer is watching
me furtively during the meetings and i guess he believes i masterminded the whole thing, as our room obviously had not been breached. The day you don't wear your seat belt is the day you crash. Folks, its called prevention, you don't get a second chance. The second night they did it again!! Knowing damn well they would recoup and have more money and that's why they left the credit cards. 27 years later I'm talking to a closer and we are reminiscing about the early days and he says- i know who did it! but he didn't say. Tourists and conventions are easy pickings for experienced crews.

My journey was a whirlwind tour of 9 cities , all paid for in order to enhance my learning curve.
Leaving the Hawaiian islands, i meet the so called Dr. and broker to be who will go to Spain with me. seeing him rob and defraud his uncle leaves me unnerved. I notice while we are visiting a sales room in lake Tahoe that he avoids conversation with the local crew-- he his hiding something and is totally out of his element. We arrive at the Tahoe airport off season and is 100% empty, we are the only ones there. The lady at the counter sees my air tickets all stapled together
and remarks oh wow Hawaii-Vegas Acapulco-Spain- i wish i could go with you! Don't worry the Dr. says, we will hijack the airplane and take you with us! In less than 2 minutes an air Marshall
and an FBI agent separate us into different offices. Remember that from the 60's until around 1975 there were hundreds of airliners hijacked to Cuba. I get the Marshall, i explain my relationship with the Dr. to him (none) and furthermore am not amused by the Mexican comedian either.
In a mall earlier the Dr. went to one of these specialty cutlery stores and bought for his wife who
was a seamstress, the largest Swedish scisorrs ever made- a great gift, as Mexico didn't have them. Unfortunately they were in my briefcase when they frisked us. What saved us was an ace card. I don't care how smart you are, you cant request the ace card from the croupier. Ace cards
are serendipity in all its glory. It so happened i knew someone way up the ladder in the Marshall
system and the agent knew him! When the Dr. saw that we were being released and i was bantering with them he decided to pull his third world stunt of threatening them! I yelled as loud as i could YOU SHUT UP RIGHT NOW!! OR I'LL KICK YOU IN THE ASS SO HARD I'LL BREAK MY ANKLE GETTING MY FOOT OUT!!! the agents were reconsidering our release
but were surprised how angry i had become and figured he had his punishment and maybe more to come and let us go. Our plane , the only one that day, was held up by a film crew who could hardly fit all their gear in the turboprop bay. We sat there not speaking, anything he might have said could detonate how i felt. The 20 or so film crew were assisting with all of their aluminum
containers and they would stare at the odd couple occasionally as everyone except us was dressed casually, we were in 3 piece suits and it was hot. Finally after 2 hours we are on our way.
Since we are cramped in the small plane and i don't want to even talk to the doctor i stare out the
window (it was night) with nothing to see except the propellers, listening to the muffled conversations of the film crew going on about their latest film exploit. Since i am an aviation fanatic i don't have a problem straining my neck staring at the engine for long periods of time.
This did not escape the attention of the loudmouth of the group, a white guy with a large afro.
Actually we were the only thing of interest outside of their circle and they would stare at the weird guys in suits a lot. Finally loudmouth does it and yells out loud "WILL THE PASSENGERS REFRAIN FROM STARING OUT THE WINDOWS- THE ENGINE IS FINE WITHOUT YOU." I guess they were all supposed to laugh until i stood up and looked at him- you would have to ask them what i looked like with the dr. seated next to me shaking like a leaf. Usually during an altercation , people stare but if danger is present they look elsewhere, and they all decided as a group to stare at the engines as loudmouth slinked into his seat. Not one word from anyone until we landed. I glimpsed an ad once for a film crew and thought i recognized them-Aspen film?
White afro was funny though, just bad timing.

Thank you very much

Two people that i know of and there are more to be sure, that you might owe your life to.





Stanislav Petrov


In September 1983, Lt.colonel Petrov was manning the Serpukhov 15 missile site not far from Moscow when early warning radar showed an incoming fast attack ICBM launched from the U.S.! Training classes had made it clear that nuclear strikes would be an all out affair, not one
and then maybe another. Tension between both powers however had been strained lately.
Now four more additional missiles appeared! Overlapping security measures notwithstanding
this was cause for alarm. Even if independent confirmation was protocol had he reported it, knowing the state of mind of the high command-they might have launched an all out war.
Not really trusting the apparatus, he did nothing. Investigations later revealed a glitch in the system. Thanks Stan!



Vasily Arkhipov

During the Cuban missile showdown, the u.s. navy corraled the foxtrot class nuclear submarine B-59 and was deploying dummy depth charges on top of them to make them aware they were serious in their attempt to quarantine Russian ships from entering Cuba. Believing they were under attack, and the war had started already, they prepared a nuclear torpedo to fire at the
USS Randolph, a navy carrier! Arkhipov ,the second in command, dissented with the captain and the executive officer who were seconds away from starting a nuclear holocaust. Thanks Vasili!

Ironic list (updated periodically)

During W.W.II, a film was being made in Germany about some older battle long before, and during the filming actual artillery bombs were exploding but these were Russian bombs from advance
columns attacking the film site.

More horses died in the Russian movie "1812" than the actual numbers of dead horses from the 1812 battle for Moscow for which the film was made.

Thousands and thousands of W.W.II allies who helped defeat the axis, were turned over to the Russians by the allies against their will where they were killed for aiding the enemy.

From all accounts it appears that 20,000-30,000 Americans, Canadians,Brits and other allies were killed by the Russians who didn't want to return them. Our U.S. servicemen were Nazi prisoners and were liberated by the Russians, but fearing a war with the allies just as the war ended, figured they would have to fight these released prisoners so they killed them. This is one of the reasons Patton was killed, he wanted to fight them. Patton did not die as described.

Ho-chi-min our deadly adversary in Vietnam was responsible for helping rescue thousands of downed allied airmen in Southeast Asia during W.W.II.

Thousands of Japanese and Chinese soldiers died in a fake battle. The Japanese needed tungsten badly. A Japanese general was secretly buying it from a Chinese general and mind you these are mortal enemies from the ages, the Japanese high command unaware of the under the table dealings ordered a withdrawal from the area. In order to continue their secret money making
trade- the Japanese gen. told the Chinese gen. if you dint order a massive attack right now we will have to leave due to inactivity and say goodbye to the millions we are making, that night
a big battle took place and quite possibly was the reason the Japanese did not link up with the axis because the turning point was the battle of the Irrawaddy river and these Japanese troops were tied up dying for the gen. and his tungsten.

During the crusades to the holy land, there was also children's crusades, an army of young children. The reason it was really organized, was to get rid of the untold numbers of street urchins and orphans from the cities of Europe. Under the guise of some lofty principles to rescue
the religion. Certain elements wanted to profit from this, arguing that the majority wouldn't make it. Lets sell them as slaves but tell them to board ships pretending the journey to the holy land. Some children actually made it because they got on the wrong ships. the rest were sold as slaves in the mid-east.

On the same note Saladin the great sent his own doctors to care for his European adversary
leaders when they got sick.

Dont look back--its catching up with us!!!

Didn't the humans notice? words from a movie taking place in the future, about all the accumulated bad management practices now finally overtaking us. They were talking about frogs, they are very sensitive to their environment. They are as we speak, being hunted to extinction for food, lines of children and women walk in unison collecting them this way thru -out


most of Asia, mostly for export to Belgium and France. This has resulted in the total elimination of certain species, not unlike Napoleons army who raided every farm on their way to Russia to steal, buy, requisition every horse they could get their hands on. As a result, 3-4 breeds of horses disappeared forever. It is said Gen. Patton rescued the only survivors of the famous lippinzallers in Austria. Because of pollution, alarming amounts of frogs are born with defects.


Frog farms, are being wiped out because of illnesses. Just recently, it has come to my attention


that bee-keepers have reported 1/3rd decimated colonies because of weather changes. Not long


ago people were reporting the largest honeycombs and wasp nests ever seen, one in particular


was the entire inside of an abandoned car! Bat colonies also are dying out all over the N.E. United States. You can study all this elsewhere, but the facts are that these creatures are a crucial part


of the ecosystem and if it continues forget the billions lost-the repercussions are worse.


Fishing the great oceans seemed an endless money maker until recently. Now they trawl deeper and deeper to catch fish that used to be discarded, and are now presented as catch of the day!


I personally experienced this in Hawaii in the 70's. I used to spearfish with the locals and would barbecue anything we speared, one day a haoule (white-boy) said I'm not eating that! its an aquarium fish! It was manini-sargeant fish to you- it has chevrons like a Sgt. A few years later i notice all the food stores are selling it! Because they are running out of otherwise available fish.

if it wasn't for the efforts of major Richardson and captain graham we never would have seen a live Irish wolfhound- they bred the last ones and kept their bloodline from extinction.
Now we have a challenge to save ourselves from catastrophe, maybe we can do without the snail darter but not the frogs and bees. It seems most likely future generations wont see the polar bear or the tiger in the wild. Writting a $20.00 check to some foundation wont do the trick,
not when multinational corporations spend billions to do business at any cost.
Here's how lopsided all this is ; the snail darter gets a break in California by cutting off the water supply to farmers and now they have lost almost every farm due to water shortage. The Chinese
3 river project (dams) has caused the extinction of the Yangtze river dolphin, but you don't hear anything about it. Total mismanagement.
The philosopher Spinoza said -be very careful- in the end we might be judged by animals.

Just in --may 14- reptiles are dying off due to hot weather- too hot to hunt and they are dying off worldwide.

rational-irrational

Not everyone thinks alike. A study i read describes how our thinking process is like a brick edifice, each brick being experiences and learning combined with personal evaluations that might or might not involve critical thinking processes. Early development schooling plus what we learn casually at home determines to an extent how we think. We learn quickly to not argue other peoples opinions (most of the time) because it creates unnecessary conflict. Those who do haven't learned yet the reason why people avoid them, or why they have unproductive issues with others. I don't remember who said it-----diplomacy is the art of stroking a dog saying nice doggie while glancing about looking for a rock. In addition to this add to the mix the mental traumas we picked up along the way. Now stir in a large amount of religion and political learning and presto you have the recipe for misunderstanding all along your lifelong journey. Debate teams appear to make their points but usually reinforce the antagonist. The ego really doesn't

care if you are right, i have my own personal agenda and will continue pursuing it hell or high water. If this wasn't enough, figure out how much brainwashing from everywhere determines

how you think.



Look at how our own brains are easily fooled.



Did you ever replay in your mind a certain movie part that got your attention? Was it a true recollection of the film or did your brain re-arrange it to your liking?



Have you ever had a dream about sex cheating-having money-being happier only to wake up and discover it wasn't true and you were upset for a while? It wasn't real so why were you upset?

Because the unconscious doesn't differentiate between fact and fantasy.



Apparently if you were raised by family members who continually berated you as worthless,

wont amount to anything etc. you would unconsciously prove them right (self-defeating) as to not lose their love.



Your motivations might not even be in your best interest- from the Greek (motive+action)



Pay attention to what your enemies say about you, for they are studying you assiduously. And you thought they were just being catty.

Although your hot buttons might be irrational, those who are rational will press them.

Don't tell people your problems- half don't care- the other half are happy you have them.

All the above makes for interesting debate- but don't forget- all answers are found in nature and
nature has two rules for humans -procreate and survive. Animals have an arsenal of weapons,
sometimes to combat the same species not others. Animals have clever and ingenious ways to survive, so do humans. The only difference is the increasing consciousness of humanity who seeks to distance himself from the brute forces- in thought and inventive ways to elevate to the loftier principles and thus separate himself from something he cannot.

Here we are as test pilots in a lazy-boy recliner watching t.v. bemoaning world affairs, hunger, war, disease, earth contamination, while we spend trillions on cosmetics, plastic surgery,toys.
This is irrational and this is why aliens don't visit-they are looking for intelligent life. Would you land here?
